INTRODUCTION 

T^HIS book is intended to be a reminder to the members of the Regiment of their 
days of service in the Great War, their experiences in France and their action 
at the Front; it is intended to be a record — perhaps casual and brief — for their 
friends of their part in the War; and it is hoped that it will be — still more — a 
storehouse of historical data that will prove of value to posterity. 

If the narrative appears in too grave a vein, let it be remembered that it deals 
largely with serious events that do not lend themselves to light treatment. To avoid 
imparting too serious a tone to the book, special effort has been made to present 
numerous and excellent cartoons, thanks for which are due Sergeant Roeder, Corporal 
Driscoll and Sergeant Ruehl. Chaplain Devan and Sergeant Rennie are entitled to 
special appreciation for their work in constructing the foundation and framework of 
the book, which was completed and published by a Roard consisting of Colonel 
Carpenter, Major Wilson, Major Heath, Captain Welsh, Captain Ehinger, Captain 
Kittrell, Captain Daniel, Lieutenant Foster and Sergeant Wilson. 

The Roard takes this opportunity to extend thanks to those members of the 
Regiment who have helped in the difficult task of making this History by the loan 
of photographs, by offering suggestions or by other means. 



HISTORY OF THE 

FIFTY-EIGHTH ARTILLERY, G. A. C. 




ORGANIZATION 
PREPARATION 





I 

PON entry into the World War, the United States was confronted 
with the problem of providing artillery of a type totally differ- 
ent from any the Army had ever used. There was little or no 
heavy artillery for field use and such as existed was horse-drawn . 
To be properly equipped for taking the field the Army had to 
be supplied with heavy tractor-drawn artillery. The War 
Department decided that the nucleus for the personnel of this 
branch of artillery must come from the Coast Artillery of the 
Regular Army and National Guard, composed of organiza- 
tions which, with their thorough training and methods of fire 
control, were well prepared for this service. At this time the Coast Artillery of both 
the Regular Army and National Guard was organized by companies, assigned to 
batteries of the important seacoast defenses. Consequently it was at once necessary 
to organize these companies into regiments for field operation. 

The Fifty-Eighth Regiment of Coast Artillery was formed pursuant to instruc- 
tions from the War Department issued in December, 1917. This order authorized 
the formation of the First and Second Battalions and the Headquarters and Supply 
Companies in the Coast Defenses of Eastern New York, and of the Third Battalion 
in the Coast Defenses of Baltimore. The personnel of these units was drawn from 
Regular, National Guard and National Army troops. 

Colonel Alston Hamilton, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, for 
many years an instructor at West Point and at the Fort Monroe Artillery School, and 
known internationally as an authority on gunnery and ballistics, was assigned to 
command the Regiment. He was at this time in command of the Coast Defenses of 
Eastern New York, with headquarters at Fort Totten. While General Order No. 3 
from these headquarters, officially assigning officers and men to the Regiment, did not 
appear until January 30, 1918, a vast amount of work in the development of the 
Regiment had been accomplished before this time.

HANDSHAKERS MEWL 
WITH TWO PALMS 



Battery "A" and the Headquarters Company were for the most part made up 
from the Regular Coast Defense Companies of Eastern New York, consisting of the 
First. Second. Third. Fourth. Fifth and Sixth Companies. Batteries "B." "C" and 
"D" and the Supply Company were largely composed of 
troops from the Twenty-fifth. Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh, 
Twenty-eighth. Twenty-ninth. Thirty-first, Thirty-second, 
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-sixth companies from the Eighth 
Coast Defense Command. New York National Guard. Each of 
these new units was brought up to its required strength by the 
addition of men of the new National Army. The Medical 
Detachment was drawn from the enlisted personnel of the 
Fort Totten Hospital, and the Ordnance Detachment from the 
respective detachments of ordnance men of the Coast Defenses 
of Eastern New York and Baltimore. 

Batteries "E" and "F," comprising the Third Battalion, 
were the first units to complete their organization and to bear 
the regimental designation. The Fifth Company (Regulars), 
stationed at Fort Smallwood, Maryland, was ordered to Fort 
Howard, Coast Defense Headquarters, and became the founda- 
tion of Battery "E". Battery "F" was a National Guard unit. Its nucleus was 
the Fourth Company, Coast Artillery, Maryland National Guard, which had been 
organized the preceding spring, mustered into Federal service on August 5, and was 
then stationed at Fort Howard. Battery "E" was completed by the assignment 
of troops from other regular companies of the Command and of National Army 
men, while "F" drew on the First and Second Companies, Coast Artillery. M. N. ( •. 
In all the enlisted personnel of the Begiment comprised approximately 1.800 
men. The War Department order (W. D. S. O. No. 9, 1918) assigning officers other 
than Medical and Ordnance to the Begiment, was issued on January 11, 1918. 

The National Guard organization which furnished a large part of the First and 
Second Battalions, the latter stationed at Fort Schuyler, directly across Long Island 
Sound from Fort Totten, was the Eighth Coast Defense Command. National Guard 
of New York. This command, formerly the Eighth Infantry, New York National 
Guard, was better known by its historical title of the '"Washington Greys" and 
dated back to Revolutionary times, when it acted as bodyguard to General Washing- 
ton on the occasion of his taking the Oath of Office as first President of the L nited 
States, receiving its name from the gray color of the uniform then worn. Another 
President of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt, at one time held a lieutenant's 
commission in the Regiment. The Washington Greys saw service in every American 
war, and in being called upon to contribute to the Fifty-eighth, continued this tradition 
of action. 

On April 6th, 1918. the first anniversary of America's entry into the war, Battery 
" F " formed the guard of honor for the President of the United States when he reviewed 
the Seventy-ninth Division at Baltimore. The excellent performance of this duty 
by the Battery excited favorable comment and Captain Rudolph Ritterbusch, com- 
manding, was personally commended by the President. This was the occasion of 
the President's famous speech, echoed around the world, accepting Germany's chal- 
lenge to the arbitrament of force rather than right, in the affairs of the world. "I 

12 



accept the challenge," he said. "Henceforth it shall be force — force to the uttermost, 
force without stint or limit, until every selfish dominion is humbled in the dust." 

With the completion of the formal organization of the Regiment, material prepa- 
ration for overseas service began. Tables of organization and equipment had to be 
studied and their demands filled. The new Regiment drilled and hiked and held 
inspections. New short overcoats were issued as well as new Springfield rifles, identi- 
fication tags — "dog tags" as they were familiarly called, — and hob-nailed field shoes. 
Of course, rumors of immediate departure cropped up every week or two. Necessary 
secrecy left free play to retailers of imaginary prophecies. The Fifty-eighth arrived 
in France many times efe ever seeing the inside of a transport. Touching farewells 
were almost every day affairs and sweethearts grew cold toward the oft-repeated 
an revoirs "till it's over, Over There." Their soldiers had gone to France so many 
times that it was no longer a joke. 

During this tedious period the Regiment furnished heavy guard detachments 
along the waterfront of the North River at Chelsea Piers and on the docks of Wee- 
hawken, Jersey City and Hoboken as well as on the piers of Canton and Locust Point 
at Baltimore. 

The weeks of training would have been very monotonous had it not been for the 
diversions furnished by the various welfare associations and by theatrical stars who 
came to Fort Totten and Fort Schuyler. The Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of 
Columbus, assisted by committees from local societies in the neighborhoods of the 
Forts, gave a variety of entertainments. 

The most notable incident prior to sailing was the presentation of the regimental 
colors on the 26th of April at Fort Totten. There were various exercises, including 
a field meet on the afternoon before. The Second Rattalion was brought over from 
Fort Schuyler for the occasion. Before the review of the troops on the parade ground, 
Colonel Walke, commanding the Middle Atlantic Coast Artillery District, presented 
national and regimental colors to Colonel Hamilton with the following words: 

"Colonel Hamilton, I entrust to you and the men of the Fifty-eighth 
Regiment these colors. I know that under your leadership no dishonor can 
ever taint them. Under your leadership, we know that everything that is 
humanly possible will be done to carry them to victory. Whenever and 
wherever your men follow these colors, teach them to see among the stars and 
stripes the words engravened upon the heart of every West Pointer — words 
that represent everything worth living for, words that every man should 
gladly die for— DUTY— HONOR— COUNTRY." 

Afterward an address was made by Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the 
United States. Few of those present fail to remember some of the characteristically 
vigorous phrases of his speech, as, after referring to his own connection with the 
Washington Greys and his personal friendship for Colonel Hamilton, he reminded the 
men that it would be much easier, in after years, for one to explain why he had taken 
part in the great war than why he had not; urged that "conscientious objectors" 
to military service be placed on mine-sweeping duty where there would be no oppor- 
tunity to take human life, though there might be excellent prospect of losing it; and 
exhorted his hearers to "hit, and hit hard, and hit in the right place," in the cause of 
liberty and civilization. "Never hit until you have to, but when you do hit — put 

your man to sleep."

II. THE VOYAGE. 

ITH these instructions in mind, the Regiment was ready to fare 
forth to fight. While every man was on edge, the First Bat- 
talion received orders to proceed, not to France, but to Fort 
Wright, farther up Long Island Sound, for small arms prac- 
tice. But its stay there was short, for within a few hours 
after arrival, the Battalion was ordered back to Fort Totten. 
Sailing orders had arrived. They were secret, of course, and 
gave rise to much mysterious talk of "zero hour" and 
midnight movements. On the afternoon of May 9th the two 
Posts were thrown open to visitors for a few hours to 
permit affectionate relatives to bid farewell to departing heroes, off for the 
wars. That night the men slept in their clothes, packs rolled and ready. 'Assembly " 
sounded at 3 o'clock A.M. and the Fort Totten units of the Begiment marched aboard 
the excursion steamer Grand Republic. Progress was made as far as Fort Schuyler 
to take on the Second Battalion; but at that point the Grand Republic most unro- 
mantically and unheroically stuck in the mud. The Mine Planter General Ord, one 
hawser and much puffing and pulling were required to free the steamer and her precious 
cargo. In the end, obstinacy yielded to resolution and the Grand Republic proceeded 
on her voyage through the East Biver, while a heavy fog settled down only to lift as 
she rounded the Battery. 

The troops were unloaded at the North German Lloyd Company's piers at Hobo- 
ken, where, by early afternoon, they were aboard the United States Transport Coving- 
ton, formerly the Hamburg-American liner Cincinnati. The Red Cross knows how 
many sandwiches and how many cups of coffee went to fill the hungry but grateful 
mouths while the men waited on the piers. As each man was checked aboard the ship 
he gave his name backwards — "Jones, John W." and John W. Jones scurried up the 
gangplank. 

In mid-afternoon the men had their introduction to a transport mess. They ate 
in the forward mess hall, where some stood up beside rickety tables, while others, less 
fortunate, squatted on the deck. This disposed of, they 
filled out the "I have arrived safely overseas" cards 
and dropped them in a mail bag near the gangplank, 
thus sealing, as it seemed, their complete separation 
from home and families. 

At 6 o'clock the men were sent below and the port 
holes were covered. Scattered blue electric bulbs gave 

14 




a ghastly illumination to the troop compartments, already a strange environment to 
the landlubbers of the Fifty-eighth. The passages were narrow, the bunks cramped 
and built in tiers of three, and stumbling blocks seemed to be nailed to the floor 
in the darkest and most unexpected places. There was an epidemic of bumped 
heads and sore toes. Smoking was forbidden. It was stifling and noisy, and the 
men climbed around like monkeys over the maze of bunks. 

The Covington crept out of her berth before nightfall and glided quietly down the 
harbor. The men were weary and soon fell asleep, awaking in the morning to find 
the ship well out at sea. She was joined by other ships, forming a convoy for which 
the Covington was flagship. The U. S. Cruiser Huntington convoyed the transports, 
which numbered fourteen. The Covington had 3.600 troops aboard and the number 
carried by the convoy was close to 40,000, probably the largest shipped at once up to 
that time. 

The voyage lasted thirteen days. Most of the time the sea was calm and the 
weather fine. There were no submarine attacks, though elaborate precautions against 
them were taken. Daily "Abandon-ship" drills were held and the ship's crew was 
continually on watch for submarines. No lights were shown at night. The danger

(Formerly Hamburg-American Liner Cincinnati.) 

was real enough, too; for one of the transports in the same convoy was torpedoed on 
her homeward trip, and the Covington followed her to the bottom on her next return 
trip after that. During the voyage the enlisted men of the Fifty-eighth were quartered 
in the forward part of the ship, well down, with a restless, clanking anchor chain 
nearby to diversify the monotony and break up the landlubberly habit of sleeping 
all night.

Covington 



As soon as the troops found out where the} could and could not go on the ship, 
iIm> proceeded to make themselves at home. When a private climbed a couple of 

decks toward the 
bridge, intent on 
seeing how the ship 
wiii keel, a forbidding 
voice would call. 
"You can't stand 
there!" There did 
not seem to he room 
to stand anywhere. 
The famous calls. 
"All on deck!" or 
"All below deck!" 
and "The smoking 
lamp is out!" were 
heard long after the 
seafaring days of the 
Regiment were over. 
May 14th was a 
day wasted as far as 
progress was con- 
cerned. The ships engaged in target practice, shooting at a periscope target towed 
by one of them. The President Lincoln and the Covington worked together and the 
rest of the convoy drew out of sight. The men saw the two forward six-inch 
pieces make several hits, and they hoped and prayed a U-boat would stick up a 
bit of its periscope to start the fun. However, they were disappointed. Dawn 
next morning showed all the ships, which had scattered beyond the horizon, 
assembled and once more on their way. 

A guard of thirty posts went on every day. More than one officer of the day lost 
his way in the unfamiliar recesses of the ship when trying to inspect his guard, and 
was forced to divert his attention to finding his way out. In fact, it was a problem 
for the corporal of the guard himself to remember where he had posted all the men of 
his relief. At that, there was not a great deal for the guards to do. If any man became 
worn out and discouraged at not being able to find the "smoking lamp," none went 
absent without leave. "The smoking lamp is out" seemed to be always sounding 
and few ever heard the welcome news, "The smoking lamp is LIT!" 

There were no serious hardships on the voyage. Motion pictures and band 
concerts helped to shorten the long day, reveille for "stand-to" being at 4 A.M. during 
the passage through the danger zone. The good health of the Regiment was remark- 
able, although scarlet fever broke out among the troops of the 129th Infantry, who 
occupied the after part of the ship. 

One man was lost by death, however. Private Walter E. Wilhelm, of the Supply 
Company, succumbed to appendicitis after an operation. 

During the latter part of the voyage the convoy spent a few days in what seemed 
to the landsmen a desperate naval engagement — two days of rough sea and much 
rolling of the ship. Rut the sailors ("Gobs," the men sometimes called them) 



16 



reassured their passengers, telling them the ship was never really in danger till the ocean 
began coming aboard by way of the funnels, and as the water was barely coming up 
to the promenade deck, there was no cause whatever for alarm. 

In the early morning of the 21st of May, as the men lined the decks in their life 
belts, the destroyers that were to form the escort through the war zone appeared one 
by one on the horizon and surrounded the convoy. Two days later, May 23d, the 
convoy sailed into the picturesque harbor of Brest. The first suggestion of land 
came with the sight of a fleet of small fishing smacks, and then two hydro-aeroplanes 
appeared and circled above the convoy. The destroyers dashed hither and thither like 
dogs searching for a scent. Soon the headlands of Brest dimmed the horizon and 
took on shape. A captive observation balloon was on duty over the harbor.

Debarking at Brest 

That night the Covington lay inside the breakwater and the next afternoon 
the troops disembarked and marched three miles to the famous rest camp of Brest, 
outside of the city. The Port of Brest had not long been opened as an American 
base port, but was teeming with American activity. The march up the hill road to 
Pontanezen Camp afforded the men their first sight of France and the French. Chil- 
dren welcomed them along the roads by seizing their hands, giving them flowers and 
asking for pennies. Pontanezen Barracks and the surrounding temporary camps 
which went to make up Base Section No. 5 are situated in the high country in the 
picturesque province of Brittany. On arrival in the vicinity of the Barracks, the 
Regimental column, led by Colonel Hamilton and headed by the Band, was directed 
down a lane leading to two small fields in which the 
troops pitched shelter tents and made their homes. For- 
tunately, during the week spent here the weather was 
fine and '"pup-tents" proved comfortable albeit somewhat cramped quarters. 

The men found themselves on all sorts of details, from hauling water to building 
houses and roads. The term "rest camp" was voted to be "all wrong," as it seemed 
to imply variety rather than cessation of activity. Luckily the troops did not 
work from sun-up to sun-down, for the sun was up by 4 o'clock in the morning and 
set reluctantly about 9 o'clock at night. 

Meanwhile, at Fort Howard the Third Battalion heard disturbing rumors that 
the rest of the Begiment had sailed for parts unknown, and remained in uneasy 
inaction awaiting orders. Their time was to come, however. On Sunday afternoon, 
May 19, the usual rigorous restriction on the Post was removed; visitors were 
extended an amazing liberty, which surely portended something. The following day 
the little Government boat, Sprigg Carroll, made two trips from the Post up the 
river to the piers at Locust Point, carrying Batteries "F" and "E" respectively 

17 




to their entraining point. Lieut. Col. A. M. Mason, who had been assigned to the 
Regiment first as Major and later as Lieutenent Colonel, and then was, to his 
unspeakable grief, compelled by physical disability to remain behind, accompanied 
the Battalion to Locust Point and bade it an affecting farewell. The train landed 
the men in Jersey City the next morning. There men and baggage were transferred 
to a ferryboat, and eventually loaded on the Tinted States Naval Transport Levia- 
than, formerly the German liner Yulerland, which sailed after another 24 hours. 
The largest ship in the world, steaming down the Hudson River in mid-afternoon, 
is not a sight to escape notice, especially when rumor had spread throughout the city 
that the great vessel was carrying across the sea more human beings than had ever 
been carried on any ship in the world's history before, and those human beings 
American soldiers off for the great war. Whistles in the harbor blew, and from thous- 
ands of office windows handkerchiefs fluttered. 

There were 13,600 people aboard the Leviathan — something over 10,000 
troops; the rest, officers, crew, casual sailors and Red Cross nurses. The Leviathan 
made an excellent troopship, and was suspected by many of having been designed 
for that purpose. Weather conditions were ideal and the sea was calm. Life pre- 
servers were worn throughout the voyage. The Leviathan was unconvoyed 
until met by destroyers near the European shore. The day before arrival in port 
she made a wide detour to avoid the scene of recent submarine activity, where a 
ship had just been sunk. The enemy was not to be evaded, however; there was 
a fleet of submersibles awaiting the ship's arrival at the entrance to the harbor of 
Brest. The attack was a bold one, occurring just about midday. Naval officers 
of the ship were of the opinion that the submarines lying in wait were at least five 
in number. One rose to the surface just aft of the ship on the port side. The 
Leviathan's six-inch guns opened fire upon it. The wakes of other submarines were 
clearly visible racing alongside the ship, but gradually falling behind. Twenty-eight 
shots were fired from the ship's guns, one of which was believed to be a direct hit. 
None of the "subs" fired torpedoes, as far as could be observed. This encounter 
took place on Decoration Day. 

The Third Rattalion was landed at Brest on May 31 and followed the dusty 
road to Pontanezen Barracks. When the troops, under command of Major Thomas 
A. Terry, reached the gates of Pontanezen. they were informed that the rest of the 
Fifty-eighth had departed a couple of days previously, leaving its portion of the camp 
in better condition than any other organization had ever done. The Third Battalion 
was more fortunate as regards quarters, being assigned to pyramidal tents within 
the Caserne, bordering the dusty parade ground. Pontanezen remained a very 
vivid experience in the imagination of the troops, and with each prospective move 
on the part of the Regiment the fervent hope was always expressed that they would 
not again be sent to a "rest camp." 

The total strength of the Regiment in France was now 66 officers and 1811 men 





III. 

asp HE trail of the Fifty-eighth to its training area in the Depart- 
ment of Haute A ienne proved to be a forty-hour ride in box 
cars, each marked, to the dismay and amusement of the men, 
with its stated capacity of "Chevaux 8, Hommes 40" — the 
kind generally known through the A. E. F. as "side-door 
Pullmans." The main body of the Regiment journeyed via 
Tours and Limoges to the village of St. Leonard, in Haute 
Yienne, arriving thither at midnight on May 31st. The 
Third Battalion a week later came to rest at Ambazac, 
Haute Yienne. The two villages are about 18 kilometers 
apart, situated in the beautiful, semi-mountainous country of the ancient Province 
of Limousin. The city of Limoges, known officially in the A. E. F. as "Organization 
and Training Cen- 
ter No. 2, Tractor 
Artillery," lay 
about 20 kilometers 
distant, both from 
St. Leonard and 
Ambazac. The life 
of the Regiment 
centered in this 
region for the next 
two months and a 
half. 

The billeting sys- 
tem as employed by 
the American Expe- 
ditionary Forces 

in France was entirely novel in the experience of American troops. Throughout all 
the areas occupied by United States troops there was a billeting organization, French 

or American, with a representative called the "Town 
Major" in each village. Each house and building was 
marked with its stated capacity of so many officers, so 
many men, so many horses and with its official number. 
Every available bit of floor space was usually seized for 
the purpose. During their sojourn in France the men 
of the Fifty-eighth were quartered in garrets, cellars, 
19 




A French Station 





barns, factories, churches, stores, schools, town halls. Adrian barracks, chateaux, 
dugouts, shelter tents, pyramidal tents and trenches. The billeting system worked 

out very satisfactorily. The omnipotent mayors of the 
French communes were almost without exception cour- 
teous and fair in their treatment of American troops, and 
there were French interpreters to smooth out linguistic 
difficulties. The billeting system took the soldiers directly 
into the homes of the French people and gave them 
opportunity for personal contact with French life that 
could come in no other way so intimately. Though 
the French populace was almost always friendly, it was always the children who 
were quickest to appropriate the soldiers as their especial friends. There could be 
no more pleasing sight in the world than the very frequent one presented by a big 
Yankee soldier learning French from a group of young- 
sters clustered around him or climbing over him. 

The Fifty-eighth was very fortunate in having St. 
Leonard and Ambazac as the scene of first real contact 
with the French. Both officers and men made exceptionally 
pleasant acquaintances among the townsfolk. At Ambazac 
the Haviland family, Americans of large business interests 
in Limoges, made both officers and enlisted men welcome 
visitors at their beautiful estate. The broad sympathies 
and perfect courtesy of Colonel Hamilton did much to 
make for cordial relations between the nationalities. The 
French people greatly admired him and he saw to it that 
every concession was made to their feelings. The band 
concerts every evening at St. Leonard were at first frowned upon, because the 
French took the war and its consequences so seriously that music and merry- 
making seemed al- 
most sacrilegious to 
them. That feeLing 
soon wore off, how- 
ever, and the even- 
ing music became the 
rallying place of all 
the children and 
many grown-ups. 

We were now to 
have our first inti- 
mate contact with 
the miserable back- 
wash of the war; 
a party of about 
twenty Belgians, all 

women and children, were literally dumped from a refugee train into the little 
station at St. Leonard. But a few days previously their little village on the 
Flanders front came under German shell fire, and these people were so hurriedly

evacuated that they reached us absolutely destitute. They were still stupefied with 
the horror of their experiences, and appeared too dazed to even rustle for a bit of 
food they so much needed. However, they fell in good hands when our Regimental 
Color Sergeant, DeWolf, a sterling soldier of the old school, heard of their arrival. 
Himself Belgian born, and speaking their language, for they spoke neither French 
nor English, he soon collected a sum sufficient to provide them food, found them a 
place to sleep, and in a day or so secured employment that made them self-supporting. 
On the second day of June orders were received to the effect that the Fifty- 
eighth Artillery had been assigned to the Thirty-second Artillery Brigade, Brigadier 
General William C. Davis commanding, and that its equipment would be that of 
caterpillar-drawn eight-inch howitzers. Other regiments of the Brigade were the 
Fifty-ninth and Sixty-fifth Coast Artillery, with Limoges as the center of the training 




American 8-Inch Howitzer 

area for the three. During this period the guns arrived, gaily camouflaged in green 
and yellow and white and looking quite ready for business; first one for training, 
then the full equipment with caterpillars. The guns were breech-loading howitzers, 
eight-inch, of English design (Vickers, Mark VI), but made by the Midvale Steel 
Company of America. The Fifty-eighth was the only American heavy artillery 
regiment to get into action that was completely equipped with guns built in America 
and originally ordered by the United States Government for its own use. The cater- 
pillars were of the Holt agricultural type, some of 75-horse power and some of 
120-horse power. Each battalion received eight guns and eight caterpillars. The 
question of motor transportation, always urgent in the A. E. F., was solved for the 
Regiment at this period by the arrival of a number of motor vehicles. Eventually 
the Regiment was fairly completely equipped with White staff observation cars, Dodge 
sedans, Ford touring cars, Packard, Pierce-Arrow and Riker trucks for general use, 
and four-wheel-drive trucks for hauling ammunition, together with a number of 
motorcycles, with and without side-cars. 

Training of the batteries in handling the new guns began as soon as the latter 
were received. Meanwhile, officers and men were constantly being sent off to schools 
of one sort and another — schools for chauffeurs, for tractor drivers, for orienteur 
work, for radio, telephone and signal work, and for training in gas warfare. It is 

21 




A Cat and a How- 



no exaggeration to state that representatives from the Fifty-eighth were conspicuously 

successful in these schools, practical proof of their success being the large number 
of them retained at the schools as instructors. Over fifty motor vehicle drivers 

were losl to the 
Regiment in this 
way at one swoop. 
There was also- a 
course of lectures 
for the officers, 
given at St. Leo- 
nard and Amba- 
zac by American 
officers detailed 
from the 0. and 
T. Center who 
had seen service 
at the front, cover- 
ing various detail- 
of artillery prac- 
tice, and punctuated with frequent examinations. At one time during this period, 
orders were received for one of the battalions to be detached from the Regiment 
and handed over to Railway Artillery. The Second Rattalion was selected for 
the purpose and all arrangements made therefor; but the orders were rescinded 
before the transfer was actually effected. 

The two great national holidays in July evoked the greatest demonstration 
of mutual good will between the Americans and the French. The program at St. 
Leonard was substantially the same for the two festivals. Independence Day on the 
Fourth and Rastile Day on the Fourteenth. On each occasion the Rand toured the 
town early in the morn- 
ing; playing patriotic 
airs. On the Fourth 
there was a parade with 
colors flying, the two 
battalions preceded by 
wounded French 
soldiers from a local 
military hospital as 
guard of honor. Colonel 
Hamilton made an 
address in French and 
speeches were also 
made by other repre- 
sentatives, both mili- 
tary and civil, of both 
nationalities. These were followed by the raising of the national colors at 
noon to the playing of the "Star Spangled Ranner" and the "Marseillaise." The 
afternoon was given up to field sports and baseball, both novel performances to the 

22 




Julv 4th at St. Leonard 



French spectators, to whom baseball appeared a form of grenade throwing. At 
5 o'clock a reception was tendered the officers of the Fifty-eighth by the "Cercle de 
1'Union," a club of French gentlemen living in St. Leonard. Each day's celebration 
concluded with an outdoor vaudeville entertainment furnished by talent from the 
Regiment. At Ambazac the native population gave a lavish entertainment to the 
soldiers on the Fourth of July, even the poorest people contributing toward the 
expense because, as they said, they had grown so fond of the men billeted in their 
homes that they felt toward them as toward their own kin. But on the French 
holiday, the mayor of the town asked that there be no special celebration because 
from that little village 137 men had given their lives in the war, and the townsfolk 
wished to observe the national festival in silence and seclusion. 

The only incident that might have marred the good feeling between the French 
population and the Regiment was happily taken in such good part by both that no 
better evidence could be adduced of the cordial relations between the two. A gendarme, 
Leon Theophile Faure, was shot and killed at night by an American sentry on guard 
over a howitzer in the woods beyond the town. All agreed that both men were 
doing their duty and the French accepted the situation with apparently perfect 
equanimity. 

During this time regular religious services — Protestant, Catholic and Jewish — 
were maintained. The proportions of the various faiths in the Regiment were 
approximately: Protestant, 50 per cent.; Catholic, 40 per cent.; and Jewish, 10 per 
cent. The Y. M. C. A. operated canteens and writing rooms in St. Leonard and 
Ambazac, and sent out occasional entertainments from Limoges. There was no 
indoor place of assembly in either town, but the 
good weather that prevailed all summer made it 
feasible for these to be held out-of-doors. 

Gas masks were issued and every man in the 
Regiment underwent practice in wearing them. 
Hiking by the hour wearing the masks, the men 
found, was no fun, but they knew their lives might 
depend upon ability to wear the cumbersome 
"harness" for long periods and took the irksome 
drills in good part. 

Before leaving St. Leonard each battalion was 
organized on an independent basis, somewhat after 
the French system for artillery regiments of this type. Under this system 
each battalion or "groupe" became a semi-independent unit, with a self-contained 
organization under the battalion commander both for supply and tactical purposes. 
The central regimental organization remained, but each battalion organization 
was so developed that it could, whenever necessary, operate as a distinct unit — 
necessities of modern warfare often requiring that battalions of heavy artillery 
occupy positions widely separated from each other in point of space and work tac- 
tically as parts of different army corps or even of different field armies. Each battalion 
staff contained, besides the commander and adjutant, a medical officer, a supply 
officer, a mechanical officer, a signal officer, an orienteur officer and a gas officer, 
in addition to a headquarters enlisted detachment of trained specialists to assist 
them. 




23 



The last Sunday evening before departure from the settled quarters of St. 
Leonard and Ambazac, the officers of the Regiment tendered a dinner to Colonel 
Hamilton at the Hotel de la Paix in Limoges. There were thirty-five present, and 
Lieut. Col. Pendry, as toastmaster, expressed for the Regiment the deep affection 
in which it held "The Father of the Fifty-eighth."

HE training of the Regiment was now proceeding to completion 
and the next move brought it to the great French artillery 
camp at La Courtine, Department of Creuse — a distance of 
some sixty miles — for target practice. The journey was made 
by train during the week beginning August 11, guns and 
caterpillars being loaded on flat cars. As on most journeys 
made by the Regiment, only one battalion was moved at a 
time. The Third Rattalion marched over from Ambazac and 
entrained at St. Leonard. 

La Courtine was a huge, desolate camp with brick bar- 
racks, deluged with dust and swarming with flies. There the whole regiment was 
gathered together for the first time in its history, but even then the Third Rattalion 
found itself located a 
mile or more from the 
rest. The work of 
the Regiment at La 
Courtine consisted in 
target practice with 
the famous French 
"75's" as well as with 
its own guns and in 
calibration of the 
latter. This process, 
which might be de- 
fined in civilian terms 
as a study of the 
individual eccentrici- 
ties of each particular 




Our Guns on the Way 



gun, was carried through in unusually rapid time, and the data obtained was 
found effective in later use of the guns at the Front. 

While here the Regiment experienced the first fatal casualty of its service abroad. 
During practice firing of the French pieces a shell exploded in one of the guns, and 
a splinter from the muzzle struck Private Monroe C. Hodge, of Rattery "E," who was 
working on a neighboring piece. He died of painful wounds a few hours later and 
was buried in the camp cemetery at La Courtine with military honors. 

Upon completion of target practice, the Regiment moved in the week of Sep- 
tember 1 to a billeting area along the Marne River, north of Chaumont (Haute 
Marne). Regimental headquarters were established in the town of Vignory, on 

25 





the road between Chaumont and Joinville. In the same town were billeted the 
Headquarters Company, the Supply Company and the First Battalion. Batteries 

"C" and "D" occupied the neighboring villages of 
Youecourt and Soncourt, respectively, while the Third 
r4» Battalion was quartered more remotely, occupying the 
'i<&2 A village of Villiers-sur-Marne. The first duty of all the 
ys^sr organizations on arriving at their stations was, of course, 
to "police" the villages — a task so often repeated in 
the Begiment's history that the men jokingly interpreted "C. A. C." as standing for 
"Clean All Cities," or "Come and Clean." The refrain of a popular song ran: 

"All of the war 
We've seen so far 
Is cleaning the streets of France." 

The Begiment settled down more or 
less comfortably to perfect its organiza- 
tion, obtain shortages in transportation 
facilities and await its call to the Front. 
The Thirty-second Artillery Brigade 
formed part of the Army Artillery of 
the First Field Army, the headquarters 
of which were at Bar-sur-Aube, not far 
from Vignory. A rigorous inspection of the Begiment was made at this time by 
Colonel Harry T. Matthews, C. A. C, inspector-general of the First Army. 

The Lorraine Cross 
was selected as the 
Begimental emblem, 
Lorraine being the 
Begiment's prospec- 
tive scene of action. 
The pattern adopted 
showed the cross in 
white on a blue back- 
ground, the whole 
enclosed in a red 
circle. This design 

Sidtwloor Pullmans— "8 and 40" was painted on the 

regimental arma- 
ment and property and was considered one of the most attractive in the A. E. F. 

Many changes occurred in the commissioned personnel during 
this period. Lieut. Col. Pendry, who had joined the Begiment at 
St. Leonard, and had by his tact and good will contributed greatly 
to the smooth running of the organization, was ordered back 
to America for duty, as were many other officers then or later. 
Unofficial forces of the Begiment were strengthened by the attach- 
ment of Miss Susanna Bottomley, "The Daughter of the Begi- 
ment," of the Y. M. C. A., and the Beverend James H. Eding, of 

26 






the Knights of Columbus. Miss Bottoraley managed canteens in the various 
villages and in many ways made conditions as cheerful as possible for the enlisted 
men. They became greatly attached to 
her and her presence with the Regiment 
was a very beneficial influence. Father 
Eding looked after the spiritual welfare 
of officers and men and was very popu- 
lar with all. Both Miss Bottomley and 
Father Eding continued with the Fifty- 
eighth until after the cessation of hostili- 
ties. They were valued aides to the 
Regimental Chaplain who supervised the 
welfare work of the Regiment in addi- 
tion to his ministerial duties. Chaplain 
Devan had joined the Regiment with the Fort Howard contingent and early gained 
the confidence and respect of officers and men. His interest and sympathy for those 

of all beliefs and his warm friend- 
liness were a strongly felt influence 
in the Regiment and brought him 
a deserved popularity. 

Although the Regiment had 
been held in reserve as a part of 
the First Army, when the call to 
the Front finally came, it was for 
duty, not with the First, but with 
the Second Field Army. The 
days before the movement actually 
took place were times of no small 
perturbation. Successive changes 
of orders as to the date, manner 
and objective of the move, owing 
perhaps to the St. Mihiel salient 
operation which was in progress at this time, were received. Meanwhile, the guns 
had been drawn up along the roads ready for movement. Orders finally came, 
however, and the journey to the Front was made during the week of October 20. 
Guns, tractors, and men of the battalions were loaded on successive days at the 
Vignory station and taken thence by rail to Toul. Detraining there, the units 
proceeded marching toward the Front to take 
up their positions. 

Here was the parting of the ways for the 
several battalions. On reporting to the Second 
Army the Regiment found itself divided. 
Regimental headquarters and the Third Bat- 
talion were assigned to duty as corps artillery 
with the Sixth Corps, of which the headquarters 
were at Saizerais; while the First and Second 
Battalions were assigned to the Fourth Corps, 

27

the headquarters of which were at Boucq. Regimental headquarters were at first 
established in Manonville (Meurthe-et-Moselle). but, this being in the Fourth Corps 

area, it was found necessary to remove to Rosieres-en- 
Haye. Headquarters and Supply Companies remained, 
of course, with the Regimental headquarters. 

The First and Second Battalions were under the 
command of Colonel C. G. Runker, C. A. C, whose 
post of command was at Mamey (Meurthe-et-Moselle), 
headquarters of the heavy artillery of this sector of the Corps. Later Colonel R. \1. 
Mitchell, C. A. C, took this command. The Third Rattalion. together with the 
Third Rattalion of the Sixty-fifth Artillery, C. A. C. formed an 
artillery group under the Fifty-eighth's commander. 

The general arrangement at the Front was for each battalion 
to have its "rear echelon," or rest position, together with the 
battalion headquarters, at some point fairly well back of the 
line, while its "P. C." (post of command), or Rattalion Com- 
mander's sta- 
tion and the 
actual gun po- 
sitions were. < if 
course, on the 
line itself. The 
gun sections, 

as a rule, remained on duty with 
their pieces for periods of four 
days at a time, at the end of which 
they retired to the rear echelons 
and other gun sections came for- 
ward to take their places. The 
rear echelon of the First Rattalion 
was established in Camp Mont- 
joie. a former French camp in the 
woods north of Manonville, the men being billeted in wooden shacks and dugouts, 
long occupied by the French. The entire portion of the Front, in fact, in which 
the Fifty-eighth operated had been occupied by the enemy until the St. Mihiel 

drive had cleared it only a few weeks previously. 
The rear echelon of the Second Rattalion, after a 
brief stay in the Montjoie woods, removed to a 
chateau in Manonville which had been tem- 
porarily occupied by Regimental headquarters. 
The Third Rattalion, after several stops, finally 
brought to rest in some Adrian barracks near 
the village of Jezainville. 
Now the Regiment was in 
first hand touch with the war.

A TANKS HOUSE ON THE fRONT 




V. IN ACTION. 

T was with the most genuine regret that, just before going into 
action, the Fifty-eighth had to bid farewell to its organizer 
and chief, Colonel Hamilton, who left on October 24, to take 
command of the Thirty-fifth Artillery Brigade at Limoges. 
Lieutenant Colonel Terry, formerly commander of the Third 
Battalion, was left in charge of the Begiment and of all the 
heavy artillery of the Sixth Corps 
until November 5, when Colonel 
William T. Carpenter, C. A. C, 
took this command. ( lolonel Car- 
penter had joined the American Expeditionary Forces 
in September, 1917, as a captain in the Seventh Pro- 
visional Begiment, C. A. C, the first regiment of this 
arm of the service to reach France. He had been successively a battalion com- 
mander in the Fifty-second Artillery, C. A. C, brigade adjutant of the Thirtieth 
Brigade, C. A. C, a member of the Heavy Artillery Board, A. E. F., and president of 

the Heavy Artillery 
Board, A. E. F. 

The next task for 
the batteries after 
the occupation of 
the rear echelons 
was the selection of 
"P. C.*s" and bat- 
tery positions, and 
the laying of tele- 
phone communica- 
tions, camouflag- 
ing, bringing up the 
guns and digging in. 
The digging of 
A. "P. C." the gun pits in 

practically every case was seriously retarded by mud and rock, and was finally 
accomplished only after long hours of hard work day and night. The matter of dugouts 
was easy for some organizations through the kindness of the Germans, who had spent 
years in digging comfortable and comparatively commodious shelters in the earth,

from which they had withdrawn (under urgent pressure) before the arrival of the 
Regiment in this region. Many of their dugouts had concrete, walls and gas-proof 

entrances ; they were ornate according to the 
Teutonic notion of art, and had even in their 
days of glory been illuminated by electric light. 
Frequently they could be approached over the 
mud by board walks. The slight drawback 
that they faced the wrong way and had their 
entrances toward the front did not embarrass 
their American occupants. 

The First Battalion's guns 
were set in a wooded valley 
of the Foret des Vencheres, 
(Meurthe-et-Moselle), in positions that had 
formerly been occupied by the Fifty-first 
Artillery, C. A. C. 
The emplace- 
ments of the two 
batteries formed a 
continuous row 
along a narrow- 
gauge railway that 
ran along the 
north side of the 
valley. The bat- 
tery commanders' 

stations and the dugouts that harbored the 
gun sections were a few hundred yards away 
on the opposite side of the valley; they had been built by the Germans. "P. C. 
Wallace," the battalion post of command, lay a mile or more distant, in the Bois du 

Four, across the 
Thiaucourtroad. The 
original "B. C." of 
Battery '"A" was a 
German "pill-box," 
later abandoned be- 
cause telephone com- 
munications with the 
guns were found diffi- 
cult. Kitchens of 
both batteries were in 
the floor of the valley. 
The gun crews on 
duty "stood to" in 
the day-time, and 
frequently for long 
periods at night as well; but in general they were allowed to sleep at night in dugouts,

subject to call. It was a sight long to he remembered to sec the men at a sudden 
call streaming from their dugouts, stumbling through the mud and underbrush to 
the guns. The First Battalion got into action 
before either of the others. The first shot was 
fired by Battery "B" on October 31st and the 
last at 10.56 a.m., November 11th. four minutes 
before the Armistice hushed the sound of can- 
non all along the Front. In all. 1.167 rounds 
were sent over the hill into the German lines by 
this Battalion. 

The enemy was in the habit of shelling with great perseverance the woods on the 
other side of the bill, toward the village of Yieville. His activities were not confined 

to that, however, and the 
valley itself was a frequent 
target. His aeroplanes were 
often overhead, sometimes 
repelled by American anti- 
aircraft fire, and sometimes 
quite oblivious of it. On 
the afternoon of November 
8th three hostile craft flew 
immediately over the bat- 
teries' positions, swooping 
so low that their observers 
could be clearly seen manip- 
ulating their machine guns 
against the artillerymen. 
Observation was all too easy 
and the visit boded no good. That night the First Battalion positions were sub- 
jected to a very severe shelling. High-explosive and gas-mustard and di-phosgene 
shells were concen- 
trated in the valley. 
A direct hit was scored 
on Battery "A's" 
powder dump, which 
burst into flames that 
lit the whole sky. The 
only fatal casualty to 
occur in the Begiment 
resulted from this 
bombardment. Cook 
Teofil Figula, of Bat- 
tery "A," was killed 
instantly by a shell 
fragment. He was 
buried at night in a 
little cemetery near 
the southern road lead-

the military honors which his death deserved and the usual simple cross of a soldier's 
grave was left to mark the spot. The total casualties of the First Battalion were: 1 
killed; 17 wounded or gassed.

positions were being prepared by Batteries "A" and "B" in the northern edge of the 
Bois d'Heiche, southeast of Thiaucourt. Three of the guns were already in place 
by Monday, the 11th, but no firing had been done from them. The movement 
continued, however, and all the guns were put into position. The new emplacements 
were very close to the front lines, and were threatened by enfilade fire on the right 

flank. The targets 
of the First Bat- 
talionwere the 
towns of Onville, 
Waville, St. Julien 
and Villecey-sur-

The Second Bat-

of the Foret des Vencheres. It was found necessary, however, to move Battery 
"C" to the Bois d'Heiche, northwest of Vieville, near emplacements from which a 
battery of lighter calibre artillery had just been shelled out. The good defilade

afforded by this position and the stubborn nature of the soil meant many hours of 
continuous hard work with pick and shovel. The dirt removed from the pits had to 
be carted away and carefully camouflaged. "C" Battery began firing on November 
3d. Meanwhile, "D" Battery had established itself in a particularly thick part of 
the Foret des Yencheres, on the road from Vilcey to Yieville, where many trees had 
to be cut down, sections of the trunks cut out and the tops set up again. This difficult 







work, like all other kinds of camouflage, was done under the direction of specialists 
from the camouflage service. "D" commenced firing on the 2d. The gun sections 
of the Second Battalion found inadequate facilities for shelter, those of "D" sleeping 
in "pup-tents" and slit trenches, which as every soldier knows, are poor protection 
against the cold, rain or shrapnel. 

The targets of the Second Battalion were the villages on Onville, Waville, Yande- 
lainville and Pagny-sur-Moselle. Some counter-battery and interdiction firing was

also done. Sound ranging was twice used with fair success. Aerial and ground obser- 
vation were not obtainable. Both batteries continued shooting until the last moment 
before the Armistice, using in all 1,256 rounds — more, that is, than any of the others. 
The battalion commander's station, "P. C. Hardigg," later, "P. C. Heath," was 
located near the top of a steep hill in the Bois de Friere. Several days prior to the 




Tragedy of an A men

Armistice, new positions were started for this Battalion at Sainte Marie Farm, north- 
east of Yilcey, very close to the German lines. Setting up telephone lines and 
"digging-in" were exciting tasks enough. On two successive nights truck trains 
bringing'up supplies to the men at work there were shot up by the enemy with gas.

high-explosive and shrapnel, causing a number of casualties. The total losses of 
the battalion during the nine days of firing were 20 men wounded and gassed. 

All the positions occupied by the First and Second Battalions were advanced to a 
degree very unusual with artillery pieces of this caliber. The new positions of the 
Second Battalion, especially, were the farthest forward of any occupied by the Begi- 

38 



ment. All this was part of the preparation for a drive on the Metz front as a con- 
tinuation of the Meuse-Argonne offensive, and the object was to extend the range 

of the guns for harassing fire 
against the retreating enemy. 
Doughboys, " who had 
never seen heavy artillery so 
near the front line before, 
christened the Fifty-eighth 
"the Eight-Inch Infantry." 
The great drive expected, 
however, never came off; the 
Armistice saved the Germans 
that, but there was constant 
activity in the infantry line 
as well as continual bombard- 
ment by the American artil- 
lery, massed for the attack, 
until 1 minutes of 11 A. M., 
November 11, 1918.

The Third Battalion was assigned positions in the Bois le Pretre, 

•RVTTAT TIN near Montauville ' (Meurthe-et-Moselle). The men detrained at 
Toul on the day following the Second Battalion's arrival and marched 

to Lagney; thence the next day to Camp Xayette. near Saizerais, headquarters of th e 

Sixth Corps, and two days 

ater went on to Griseourt 

whence they moved direct to 

take up their positions along 

a woods road in the Bois le 

Pretre, north of Montauville. 

After passing this village, 

the gun trains found roads 

well nigh impassable, due to 

heavy mud and steep hills. 

These obstacles finally over- 
come, the batteries found 

themselves faced with grave 

difficulties in setting the 

guns for action. The soil 

was very hard and rocky and 

there was considerable obstruction by trees of the paths of the projectiles. Hard 

labor on the part of the men at last paved the way for action and the Battalion 

reported ready to fire on the 8th. 
The first shot was fired at mid- 
night of the 9th. The major part 
of the fire was directed against 
artillery positions in the Bois le 
Comte and the Bois la Cote, near 
Vittonville. 

The Third Battalion fired 396 
shots. No casualties as the result 
of enemy action were reported, 
although several men were injured 
by accidents while at work. The 
gun sections were fortunate in 
finding large dugouts, built by 
the French, near at hand, and 
used these shelters as living 

quarters. "P. C. Hall," later. "P. C. Gallagher," the post of command, was in a 

precarious, wrecked house in shell-torn Montauville.

THE GUNS 




Ready for the Road 



An untechnical description of the guns with which the Regiment 
worked at the Front may not be out of place at this point. Eight-inch 
howitzers were among the most dangerous weapons of destruction employed in the 
war, and had been particularly effective in the hands of the British forces by whom they 
were designed and 
originally employ- 
ed. Howitzers 
are "high-angle 
fire" cannon; the 
projectile rises in 
the air, clearing 
hills and other 
obstacles, and de- 
scends upon tar- 
gets which would 
be sheltered from 
longer range guns 
using direct fire. 
The diameter of 
the bore of the 

howitzer used by the Regiment was 8 inches, and its length, 155 inches. The 
weight of the gun itself was over three tons, gun and carriage together totalling about 
10 tons. Nor were the projectiles light, those ordinarily used, containing high-ex- 
plosive, weighing 200 pounds apiece. This mass of steel was sent hurtling through 
the air for a distance of about 10,500 yards at the maximum range. The powder 

charge that gave this pro- 
pulsion itself weighed 10 
pounds and 12 ounces, 
though when the maxi- 
mum range was not 
needed, there were four 
lighter charges which 
could be used, thus sav- 
ing wear on the guns. 

Neither gas nor shrap- 
nel shells were used by the 
Regiment; the projectiles 
"sent over" contained 
only high-explosive. To 
set off this explosive 
when the shell arrived at 
its target two types of point fuse were used, the "instantaneous" and the "non- 
delay action" fuses. The instantaneous fuse causes the shell to explode the instant 
it touches the surface of the ground — or its target, whatever that may be. Only a 
slight crater is formed in the ground by this explosion, not more than two or three 
feet deep. The great effect is the fragmentation of the shell itself. Splinters of steel 
fly in all directions and with killing effect for a radius of 800 yards to the right and left, 

41 




One of () 




600 yards in front and about 250 yards to the rear. The instantaneous fuse is used in 
"interdiction fire" or "harassing fire," where the object is to retard the movement of 
enemy troops, or in "neutralizing fire," where the effort is to stop batteries of enemy 

artillery from func- 
tioning. Instanta- 
neous fuses, for 
example, were used 
by the First Battal- 
ion on the night of 
November 9-10: a 
retirement of enemy 
troops was expected 
and interdiction fire 
was poured all night 
upon certain cross- 
roads which they were 
expected to use. 

Supply Train— Observation Balloon in Background The non-delay fuse 

is not quite so prompt 
in its action; consequently the shell penetrates more deeply before exploding. A 
huge crater is formed in the ground, eight or ten feet deep and eight to fifteen feet 
across the top, depending upon the nature of the soil. The non-delay fuse is very 
useful when the object of firing is the destruction of the material rather than the 
enemy personnel. It is very effective for use against dugouts, shelters and battery 
emplacements. Hence it is of prime value for counter-battery work. 

The method of preparing the positions and directing the fire of the 
guns upon targets was different from the system used by Coast 
Artillery in America and was a combination of American field 
artillery and French and British 
systems. After the selection of a 
battery position, the first step was 
to locate accurately upon maps 
drawn according to the French 
system of quadrillage called "Lam- 
bert's Projection" the position and 
the direction of the sector of fire 
designated for that battery. This 
involved hazardous and difficult 
work over rough and shell-torn 
country, sometimes under fire, on 
the part of the orienteur details. 
It was first necessary to locate a 
point whose exact position was 
known from previous surveys, and 

from this point to establish the location of the battery and stake out the center of its 
field of fire. Camouflage, consisting of burlap and branches of trees, was always 
raised over the position before work was begun. The digging-in details, thus 
shielded from air observation, were then set to work excavating the gun pits, which

One of Our Batteries on the March 



measured about 20 feet square. The telephone section was already at work locat- 
ing existing lines and planning a net work of wires that would reduce to a minimum 
the chance of complete severance of communication by enemy shelling. How 
successfully this work was done was shown during the heavy bombardment of the 
First Battalion, 
already mentioned. -\w 

when the direct 
wires "went out" 
early in the action 
and communica- 
tion between the 
batteries and "P. 
('.. Wallace" was 
only maintained 
through the aux- 
iliary lines, which 
were "tapped in" 
on the Second Bat- 
talion system. 

In addition, the 

signal details strung lines between the battery commander's station and each of 
the four gun pits and maintained a switchboard at each battery. The establish- 
ment of these connections was of course of the upmost importance from the moment 
work began on a position, and the men of these sections worked day and night to put 
in the initial lines. There was plenty of thrill in running wires over dangerously 

exposed ground and 
the life of a " trouble 
shooter" was a 
hop-skip-and- j ump 
affair day in and 
day out. 

The men labored 
in shifts through a 
day and night, un- 
til the pits were 
dug and the guns 
i n place. When 
hard and rocky soil 
was encountered 
this was no small 
undertaking, and 

for days and nights together the work went on unceasingly. Trenches had to be cut 
in the floor of each pit to receive the heavy platform beams, which had to be fitted 
and leveled to a nicety. After completion of the position, the guns were drawn 
up from the rear echelon or some convenient place of concealment in the rear, 
by the caterpillars, usually during the night, and then rolled up on the platform. 
The caterpillars were sent back to the rear and again concealed. With the hauling of

ammunition, the preparation of niches to receive it and the digging of slit trenches 
for shelter during bombardments, the battery was ready to receive firing orders. 

The targets assigned were communicated to the batteries through the P. C.'s 
and the necessary computations were made by the B. C.'s (battery commanders). 
To fire the shell so that it 
would strike the target, 
the B. C. corrected the 
range and direction for the 
weather conditions of the 
moment. When time per- 
mitted, both range and 
direction were computed 
from the known co-ordi- 
nates of gun and target as 
determined from the map, 

the position of the gun |^3ff T , ®, _ *►*?, R {WttOc^ 
having been determined 
by instrumental survey. 
The actual range was de- 
termined in meters and 
the direction, or azimuth, of the target in degrees and minutes with reference to 
Lambert's north. This line of direction was then referred to the line between the 
gun sight and some convenient aiming point, visible from the gun, and the angle 
obtained was set off on the sight with the necessary corrections for wind and drift of 
the projectile. This angle was called the "deflection." The actual range to the 

target was then corrected for 
variations in the muzzle velocity 
of the powder lot, temperature 
of the powder at the time, den- 
sity of the atmosphere, direction 
and velocity of the wind and the 
height of site. The result, com- 
monly called the "corrected 
range," was referred to the range- 
table and the corresponding 
"elevation" obtained in degrees 
and minutes. This angle of 
elevation was applied to the gun 
by means of the gunner's quad- 

„ „ „ . rant, a form of spirit level gradu- 

Our Tractor Drivers . 7 

ated in degrees and minutes. 
The essential facts regarding atmospheric conditions were obtained every four hours 
from the nearest meteorological station by the radio operator at each P. C. The 
B. C. then telephoned to each gun or to designated guns the elevation and deflection 
for laying and the number of rounds to be fired, fuses to be used and rate of fire. 
During the preparation of firing data the gun crews were summoned to the guns and 
made preparations for firing, loading and laying the pieces as the firing data was 

45 




I 



received. The guns were then reported — " Number 1. Ready," "Number 2. Ready.', 
and so on, each gun crew striving to be the first to report ready. At the command 
"Fire," or in the case of a series of shots. "Commence Bring," lanyards were pulled. 
During the days of action there was little or no rest for officers and men. Many 
of them went more than 36 hours w ithout a moment of rest or sleep. The men spared 

neither themselves nor their equip- 

- i 



ment in carrying out the heavy firing 
program t hat was laid down for some 
batteries. This not only threw a 
heavy physical strain on the entire 
personnel, but was a severe test of 
the effectiveness of the organization. 
Few were put to the test more 
sc\ erely than the men in the kitchens, 
— who worked tirelessly answering calls 
for coffee and hot food, in the night 
as well as all during the day. 

The drivers of supply and ammuni- 
tion trucks saw enough excitement to 
last them all their lives. Pushing through roads hub-deep in mud, usually at night 
without any lights, but sometimes during the day when dangerously exposed to enemy 
view, they rendered an arduous and most important service. These things were 





every day occurrences, and the adventure of an unexpected treatment to shelling 
was not unusual. The drivers "kept going" despite these ups and downs, and more 
than one is willing to swear he felt the breeze as a shell fragment grazed his head. 

46 



The caterpillar drivers found enough work, too, to keep them from worrying or 
becoming homesick. Grooming a "cat" is a man's size job — in fact, it is enough to 
occupy the driver and the assistant driver and a mechanic or two. But this is only a 
small part of the job. Manoeuvering an eight-inch howitzer to the Front, together 
with its platform, is the real thing. Crossing dangerously weakened bridges, turning 
abrupt corners, digging through deep mud holes, climbing banks and sliding down 
cliffs — all in utter darkness without lighting even a match — gave these men the 
chance to show that they could "deliver the goods" without needing the thrill of 
battle. 

Sniffing for gas by the hour does not sound like hard work, but when it is realized 
that upon the gas sentry's ability to smell, and smell correctly, depended perhaps 
the lives of all of a battery, it is evident that he had no "cinch." Then he was always 
open to more or less chaffing from his comrades. He appeared to be doing little 
enough, in comparison with those who were digging pits or serving their pieces, but in 
reality he was rendering a service of the highest importance.

HHSTICI 






VI. 

HE eleventh of November, 1918, brought that great event, the 
signing of the Armistice by Marshal Foch, bringing peace 
to the world in arms. Peace spelled Victory and Victory 
spelled Home. There was no excited celebration of the tre- 
mendous news on the part of the Regiment, but there was 
deep and heart-felt satisfaction; the Fifty-eighth was grateful 
that after its many months of preparation and waiting, it had 
succeeded in playing a worthy part in the great cause. 
The officers' mess at Regimental 
headquarters in Rosieres-en-Haye 
observed the occasion on November 13th by having a 
dinner as grand as circumstances allowed, which was at 
once a celebration of the peace and a formal welcome 
to the new Regimental Commander, Colonel Carpenter. 
At the moment of the Armistice, 11 o'clock in the 
morning, officers and men completely relaxed for the first time in weeks, and, while 
there was celebration all over the world, these men on the Front were almost dazed 
in the realization that it was all over. The men disappeared into their dugouts and 

shelters to enjoy a well-earned 
rest. The overwhelming relief 
that every one felt was too deep 
for ordinary expression. The 
event that had just occurred 
seemed to blot out all thought 
and to dwarf into insignificance 
all personal feelings. 

For an interval following the 
signing of the Armistice, the bat- 
teries remained in their various 
positions and considerable time 
was spent in salvaging war mate- 
rial along the Front. Then the 
long homeward movement began. 
On the 21st the first move was 
made, southward, to the village of Rruley, just west of Toul. Each organization 
marched from its station to the village of Loviant, where the regimental train was 

48 





formed, and the march was continued thence to the destination. This meant a 
hike of 43 kilometers in one day for the Third Battalion, which came in fagged but 
"game" that night, The guns were drawn over the roads by the caterpillars 
without mishap to men or mate- 
rial on this and each subsequent !~\.- v \ jy . ^ y 
move until they were turned over 
finally to the Ordnance Depart- 
ment. The next day's journey 
brought the Regiment to Pagny- 
sur-Meuse, where a longer stay 

was made. Here there were B tlJ^ V ulSi& 

shower baths, the first available *-«* 

since the Regiment left Vignory. 
On Thanksgiving Day, the 28th, 
the next stage of the journey in 
cold, rainy weather ended at 
Houdelaincourt, between Vancou- 
leurs and Joinville. The Regiment 
left Houdelaincourt at 2 A. M. on 

December 1. The weather was wretched. It was bitter cold and either raining or 
snowing continually. Most of the men were carried on trucks; but those whose duty 

kept them with the guns were enroute for many 
hours continuously' and found the experience 
one of the toughest pieces of "soldiering" they 
had met with in France. The splendid physical 
condition of the troops may be inferred from the 
fact that of the men subjected to this exposure 
none suffered any serious effects. The objective 
of the journey was the "Eighteenth Artillery 








Area," a region northwest of Chaumont, given 
over to Heavy Artillery troops and under the 
command of Rrigadier General Davis. The 
Regimental headquarters, including Headquarters 
and Supply Companies, the First Battalion head- 
quarters and Battery "A" were located in the 
town of Charmes-la-Grande; Battery "B" was 
billeted in Charmes-en-1' Angle; the Second Bat- 
talion headquarters and Battery "C" in Brachay; 
Battery "D" in Flammerecourt; Battery "F" 
in Lescheres, and the Third Battalion head- 
quarters and Battery "E" in Ambonville. The 
Regiment now settled down to prepare for the 
final journey homeward. Later on, the Third 
Battalion moved from the two last named villages 
to Rouvroy, near the railhead at Donjeux. 

The vast amount of Government property 
possessed by the Regiment had now become an 




OUR FR1ENM 



49 




encumbrance and was ready to be disposed of. Each lot inspected, invoiced and 

turned in became an occasion for rejoicing. The howitzers and caterpillars, in spick 
and span condition, were loaded at the familiar station of Vignory, and linalK dis- 
patched, on December 
11. to the Ordnance I il- 
licit at Mehun. The 
good condition in which 
property held by the 
Regiment was turned 
over received favorable 
comment. Trucks, tour- 
ing cars and motorcycles 
were turned into motor 
parks as fast as condi- 
tions permitted. 

On December 16 a 
Regimental parade was 
held in a meadow near 
Flemmerecourt. It was 
the first time in the 
history of the Regiment 
that all three battalions were assembled in one formation, and the first occasion 
that the Third Battalion had ever seen the Regimental Colors. The following day 
the Fifty-eighth participated with the Forty-fourth, 
Fifty-first and Sixtieth Artillery Regiments and the 
Fifty-third Ammunition train, in a brigade review near 
Mertrud, with Colonel R. M. Mitchell, C. A. C. in 
command and with Major General W. S. McNair, Chief 
of Artillery of the First Army, as reviewing officer. After 
the review the officers were assembled and compli- 
mentary speeches were made by Generals McNair and 
Davis. 

Christmas drew near. Soon the famous Red Cross 
Amexforces" "3x4x9 inch" packages — straight from 
home and guaranteed to bring holiday cheer over thou- 
sands of miles — began to arrive. Mess sergeants and cooks were the men of the 
hour. With the scantiest materials they produced such wonders of culinary art

that the palates of the most homesick boys were tickled. The doughnuts of Battery 
"C" became famous the country round and were dispensed with liberality by the 
kitchen staff of the Battery to all comers on several occasions. The country was 
scoured for pork and fowl — rare articles in that 
region after four years of close proximity to the 
battle-front. Company funds were drawn upon 
to supply many articles not furnished by the 
Government as so essential in the make-up of a 
real Christmas dinner. Many of the men dec- 
orated their billets and mess halls with greens, 
in decided contrast to the French who took the 
Day more soberly. With the precious remem- 
brances from home and the hearty contributions 
of generous cooks, it was a real Christmas 
despite the separation from family and friends. 
Several impromptu minstrel shows and vaudeville stunts were staged in barns and 
mess shacks, which helped to enliven the days for the men. These performances were 
so popular that a regimental minstrel troupe was organized under the name of "The 
Whiz-Bangs," a term descriptive of one of the most dreaded shells in the war. 
Entertainments were given by them throughout the Eighteenth Area. Colonel 
Carpenter, following the old time Army custom, gave a party for the officers on 
the afternoon of New Year's at his billet, a chateau near Charmes-la-Grande. 

There was drilling and hiking almost every day for each battery, but great

emphasis was placed on policing the various villages, and it may be said that each 
one of them was as neat as a new pin. The men not only cleaned their own billets — 

winch were vacant rooms and haylofts, furnished with 
double-decker board bunks — but the entire street area, 
back yards of French homes, all public spaces and neigh- 
boring fields as well. In January regimental schools 
were started in accordance with orders effective through- 
out the A. E. F. Classes in English, French, Math- 
ematics, History, Geography and various other subjects 
were started, attendance being voluntary. The teachers 
were volunteers from the officers and men. 
The Regiment lost a great 
number of men during this period 
by transfer to various depart- 
ments of the A. E. F., owing to 
their special qualifications for 
certain kinds of work. Some 
went to the Postal Express Serv- 
ice, some to the Chief Quarter- 
master, A. E. F., at Toms, and 
others to various branches of the 
service. 

Detachments from the Reg- 
iment were engaged all during 
this period in loading for ship- 
ment guns and caterpillars of 
other Coast Artillery regiments 
which had been ordered home. The material of eight other regiments, which had 
been parked in the Eighteenth Area, was manoeuvered to the nearest railroad, care- 
fully loaded aboard flat cars and dispatched. This threw heavy work on the 
Regiment's caterpillar drivers and on special details assigned from every battery

for this work. However, as many men as could be spared were allowed to go on 
leave — some to the most attractive resorts of France, taken over as leave centers 
by the American military authorities. Aix-les-Bains and Grenoble were among the 
well known spots men of the Regiment were privileged to visit. 




53 



VII. MARKING T1MK. 





E \\ WHILE, hardly a day passed without its rumor as to en- 
training orders. The Regiment had hoped to reach a base 
port on the homeward journey by January 1st, but week after 
week passed with no definite orders. Finally, instructions were 
received for the Regiment, excepting the Third Rattalion, to 
entrain at Wassy on the 21th of January for Rase Section 
No. 2, at Rordeaux. 
With a parting clean- 
up of its villages the 
Fifty-eighth moved 
via trucks to Wassy and boarded a real 
American freight train. The men were in 
roomy boxcars, bedded with straw and 
marked U. S. A., which afforded a luxurious 
trip compared with the "Hommes 40, Che- 

vaux 8" brand of car to which they were accustomed. Leaving shortly after 
noon, the train took the route: Troyes — Chateauroux — Limoges — Libourne. At the 

last named town it was switched to a branch line and 
came to a stop at the station of St. Laurent-des-Combes 
at 10 a.m. on the 26th. The detraining was soon accom- 
plished and the various units started in heavy inarching 
order, trucks being scarce, on the hike to Rranne (Gironde), 
the new billeting center. Rattery "A" was located in 
Yignonet, a kilometer or so from Rranne, where all the 
other units were grouped. 

The school program was now reopened and a light drill 
schedule was maintained. The men were in fine spirits. 
Hope of an early return home prompted imaginations to impossible dreams. The 
weather was as pleasant as that in the Haute Maine district had been disagreeable 
and the people were 
kind and hospitable, 
reminding the men 
of their first warm 
friends in St. Leo- 
nard. The billets, 
however, were poor, 
stoves being scarce 
and firewood at a 
premium, but the 
sweet, rich wine of 
the region was a 
recompense to some 
extent for any dis- Vignonet-3rd Battalion Billets 

comfort. The hillsides of the district were covered with vineyards which constituted 
the principal industry of that country. 

54 





For the first time the Regiment now had the opportunity to put into effect an 
athletic program, including basketball and a field meet, in accord with the liberal, 
athletic policy throughout the American forces in Europe. Various games and events 
were staged, culminating on February 1 in a field meet for the regimental champion-

ship. This date was the anniversary of the formation of the Fifty-eighth and was 
declared a holiday by Colonel Carpenter, who reviewed the troops in the forenoon in 
the public square. After the ceremony Colonel Carpenter addressed the Regiment, 
reminding its members of the significance of the occasion and commending their 
soldierly bearing and fine qualities. 

The Third Rattalion joined Rattery "A" at Yignonet on February 5th. The 
next day the Regiment started the move by truck to Camp Ancona. at Rassens, close 
to the American docks, of the port of Rordeaux. For a week the organization occupied 
tents while the personnel was busy getting broken in to stevedore work on the docks. 
On the 16th of February the Third Rattalion moved to Poudrerie Rarracks, near 
Rassens, from Yignonet and on the next day the remainder of the Regiment joined 
them there. The housing facilities consisted of wooden barracks, formerly used by 
the French for Annamite troops. 

The entire Regiment was now assigned to dock work while awaiting its turn 
to enter the Embarkation Camp for final inspec- 
tion before the return to America. Practically 
the whole Regiment, excepting only those men 
necessary for administration, worked daily load- 
ing enormous amounts of supplies on freight 
trains for shipment to the American forces in 
Europe. 

General Pershing, the Commander-in-Chief of 
the American Expeditionary Forces, made an

inspection of the Bordeaux area and on the 27th of February visited the docks and 
reviewed the Fifty-eighth which was drawn up in two battalions on the water- 
front. Accompanied by Brigadier General Walsh, commanding the Base Section. 

General Pershing 
inspected each bat- 
talion and then as- 
sembled the officers 
and sergeants in 
front of the ranks. 
He made the follow- 
ing brief address: 

"I cannot let this 
command go home 
without saying a few 
words. I appreciate 
w hat you have done, 
for you have done it 
well. Your services 
at the Front were 

very satisfactory, and the people at home are entitled to know that you were a unit 
in the greatest military machine in the world. It is an honor to have been a 
member of the American Expeditionary Forces, and units not so fortunate in getting 
to the Front are nevertheless part of this great machine. 

"Your work and the work of the entire American Expeditionary Forces was 
not only routine; the machine depended on each man to do his best, and I cer- 
tainly appreciate your splendid work. 

"I want this Command to go home morally sound and in good physical condi- 
tion. Please 
convey to the 
men what I have 
just said, as it is 
impossible for 
me to speak to 
all." 

The "Whiz- 
Bangs," the 
Begiment's min- 
strel troupe, 
went on a tour 
of several weeks, 
playing before 
soldier audiences 

in "huts," hospitals and various theaters all over the Base Section and as far away 
as Limoges. The show was tremendously popular in the Bordeaux area and else- 
where, and remained in great demand during the rest of the Begiment's stay in 
France. Efforts were made by the Entertainment Bureau of the Y. M. C. A. to

induce the members of the troupe to remain indefinitely in_the A. E. F. for enter- 
but the men were all too anxious to get home to consent to 
this arrange- 
ment. Perfor- 
mances were 
also given after 
leaving France, 
both on the 

transport and after arrival in New York. 
The minstrels were entirely independent of 
outside help, staging and costumes being 
their own work, and the Regiment was 
justly proud of their achievements. 
On March 20th the Regiment moved by marching to the Embarkation Camp at 
Genicart, a few miles from the docks. The first stop was the Entrance Camp where 
records were 
checked, prepar- 
atory to inspec- 
tion in the Per- 
manent Camp. 
Batteries '* E " 
and "F" and 
the Supply 
Company en- 
tered the latter 
on March 22d, 
and the remain- 
der of the Regi- 
ment on the 
27th. There was 
only a short hike 

from one camp to the other, but the awe-inspiring ordeal of the "Delousing 
Plant" — called "The Mill" — which was the introduction to the new camp, will 

long be remembered. 

The purpose of this institution was to examine 
the men and their property thoroughly before their 
embarkation, so that no members of the Expe- 
ditionary Forces would return home in improper 
physical condition or with incomplete equipment. 
In the "Mill" a soldier presented all his belongings 
for inspection ; then personally checked the informa- 
tion on his Service Record, put his clothing through 
a dry-heat germ-destroyer, bathed, had a searching 
physical examination, was reclothed, completely 
outfitted and departed via the barber shop, where 
he got a haircut if one was deemed necessary. The 
whole process was carried out with thoroughness 
and required only about two hours per battery. 
57 




General Pershing's Review of the Regiment — Bassens Docks 




One of the most distressing incidents of the Regiment's stay in France was tin- 
death of Cook Edward F. Bentz, of Battery " F," which occurred the day his unit 
entered the Permanent Camp. His death resulted from a bayonet wound accidental!) 
indicted when arms and equipment were being prepared for inspection.

It soon became known that while the Fifty-eighth was ready to embark, it must 
stillwait some time on account of a pronounced shortage of transports. However, the 
men felt that they would soon "make it" — to use 
a slang expression of the day, "it" implying home, 
of course — and made the best of the situation as 
they always had done. For the first time since the 
days of La Courtine the ball team had a chance to 
show its ability, and several games were put on

with various Engineer regiments 
then in the Camp. The Eleventh 
Engineers, which had been organ- 
ized at Fort Totten and reached 
France nearly a year ahead of the 
Fifty-eighth, were loyal supporters 
of the Begiment in all these con- 
tests. In evidence of the friendly 



58 




sentiment between the troops of the two Regiments 
and the high regard entertained for Colonel Wil- 
liam B. Parsons, commanding the Eleventh, Colonel 
Carpenter invited him to review the Fifty-eighth. 
This ceremony took place on the parade ground 
a few days before the two regiments embarked. 
Colonel Parsons in a short address thanked the 
Regiment through its officers for the compliment, 
and remarked upon the extraordinarily fine ap- 
pearance of the troops. 

During the stay here the Fifty-eighth received 
the compliment of being chosen as the guard of 
honor to Field Marshal Petain, of the French Army, on his arrival in Bordeaux on 
an official visit on April 8th. The Regiment was drawn up in line on the square in 
front of the Gare du Midi, Rordeaux. The Marshal with his staff of high French 
and American officers reviewed the Regiment. 

Excellent soldier shows, moving pictures, several welfare huts and basketball 
games also contributed to make the stay here as pleasant as could be expected for 
soldiers who were waiting to go home.

VIII. HOMEWARD BOUND. 




HE happiest day the men had known since leaving home came 
with the announcement of sailing orders. In the early even- 
ing of Tuesday, April 15th, the Regiment formed in columns 
of twos on the parade ground and marched away to the 
docks — those same docks where the men had worked so long 
while waiting to go to the Embarkation Camp. The long hike 
over very muddy roads and with packs heavy with souvenirs 
and presents could not 
dampen their spirits, and 
by 9 o'clock the entire 
the big Red Cross shed, 

Santa Barbara — the Fifty- 
The Red Cross 



organization was in 
opposite which the 
eighth's transport — was tied up. 
was generous as ever with coffee and sandwiches. 
Troops were checked aboard the ship with min- 
imum delay and by 11 o'clock every officer and 
man of the Regiment was in his place. The Sanla Barbara left her berth at 7 o'clock 
the next morning and steamed down to the mouth of the Gironde, where she anchored 
a few hours. She put to sea about noon. 

The ship carried 48 officers and 1,553 men, comprising the entire Regiment. The 
Sanla Barbara was an oil-burner of the William R. Grace Company, converted for use 
as a transport. This was her first trip with troops. She was clean and comfortable, 
though she occasionally pitched and rolled enough to upset the equilibrium of the 
soldiers. The Band gave frequent concerts during the voyage, the "Whiz-Bangs" 
put on several shows and there were a few boxing matches, these events serving to 
break the monotony of the long trip. 






61 



The ship reached New York harbor on the morning of April 27. This was the 
most-longed-for moment of all. For months there had been talk of greeting again'the 
Goddess of Liberty and of seeing again the inspiring sky line of New York. Now^the 
time had arrived. The men hung over the rails, some climbed up on the lifeboats, 
some hung high up in the rigging and others were perched in the crow's-nest. The 
boats of the Mayor's Reception Committee, fdled with welcoming relatives, met the 

transport in the 




i 



I 



j 
SMACK 



ZStlMgf- 



Bay and escorted 
her to her berth at 
Bush Terminal 
docks. Brooklyn. 
The greeting of all 
New York (as it 
seemed ) was a 
manifestation no 
man could ever for- 
get. 

By noon the 
Regiment had dis- 
embarked and. 
after a hearty Bed 
Cross lunch, was 
reloaded on a ferry 
and landed at Long 
Island City. Here 
favors in the form 
of cake, chewing 

gum and cigarettes were distributed. The Begiment was entrained in three sections 
for Camp Upton, Long Island, N. Y., where all arrived by 8 o'clock. Four men. 
owing to sickness on the transport, were transferred to the Naval Hospital author- 
ities at New York. 

While awaiting demobilization orders, the troops had liberal pass privileges to 
New York City, where many of them lived. Hundreds of relatives came to the camp. 
The demobilization of the New York men was completed on Wednesday. May 7, 
when discharges from the United States Army were handed to 548 men. The Begular 
Army men, numbering 179. were transferred to permanent or semi-permanent organ- 
izations at Camp Upton or elsewhere. 

The remaining men were divided into detachments to be sent to the demobiliza- 
tion camps nearest their homes. These groups were sent out under the command of 
officers of the Fifty-eighth as fast as railway facilities could be provided. The officers 
were given discharges as they could be spared, except those wishing to remain in the 
service, who were assigned to other organizations. Begimental records were turned in 
and the Begimental and Battalion Colors were forwarded by Colonel Carpenter to the 
Adjutant General of the State of New York, in compliance with War Department 
orders to the effect that they should go to the state having the largest representation 
in any organization. The Fifty-eighth Artillery. C. A. C. ceased to exist as an organ- 
ization on May 13, 1919.

The Regimental Commander bade the officers and men farewell in the following 
General Order : 



HEADQUARTERS 
58th Artillery, C. A. C. 



May 5. 1919. 



General Orders 
No. 5. 

To the Officers and Men of the 58th Artillery. C. A. C.: 

On the eve of our separation. I wish to express my appreciation of the splendid 
work of the officers and men of this Regiment during the time that it has been my good 
fortune to command, and to say that I shall always remember with pride my service 
with you. Your good work under my command has been characteristic of the entire 
service of the Regiment since its organization. Your attention and devotion to duty 
in training, at the Front and since the Armistice, has been of the highest order and 
merited the praise received from our superior officers and the French population where- 
ever the Regiment served in France. You were always ready and willing to endure the 
hardships required by the service. The health and discipline of the command has 
been excellent under the most trying circumstances. 

It is gratifying to us to know that the Regiment is typically American, consisting 
as it does of men from the Regular Army, the National Guard, men from every part of 
our country and from many of the foreign countries that have contributed to our 
population. 

You can return to your homes with every assurance of the appreciation and 
gratitude of our nation and with a feeling of satisfaction for duty well performed. 
Your friends and loved ones can well feel proud of the service you have rendered our 
beloved country and the cause of humanity. 

I thank you for the loyalty and support you have given me in carrying out the 
orders of our superiors and for the high standard of discipline that each has helped to 
maintain. With best wishes for the best of health and good fortune for each and every 
one, I am 

Sincerely and faithfully yours, 

William T. Carpenter. 

Colonel, C. A. C, Commanding.

G. H. Q. 

AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES, 

General Orders} France, February 28, 19t9 

No. 38-A. ) 

MY FELLOW SOLDIERS: 

Now that your service with the American Expeditionary Forces is about to 
terminate, I can not let you go without a personal word. At the call to arms, 
the patriotic young manhood of America eagerly responded and became the 
formidable army whose decisive victories testify to its efficiency and its valor. 
With the support of the nation firmly united to defend the cause of liberty, 
our army has executed the will of the people with resolute purpose. Our democ- 
racy has been tested, and the forces of autocracy have been defeated. To the 
glory of the citizen-soldier, our troops have faithfully fulfilled their trust, and 
in a succession of brilliant offensives have overcome the menace to our civili- 
zation. 

As an individual, your part in the world war has been Rn important one In 
the sum total of our achievements. Whether keeping lonely vigil in the trenches, 
or gallantly storming the enemy's stronghold; whether enduring monotonous 
drudgery at the rear, or sustaining the fighting line at the front, each has 
bravely and efficiently played his part. By willing sacrifice of personal rights; 
by cheerful endurance of hardship and privation; by vigor, strength and in- 
domitable will, made effective by thorough organization and cordial co-opera- 
tion, you inspired the war-worn Allies with new life and tarried the tide of 
threatened defeat into overwhelming victory. 

With a consecrated devotion to duty and a will to conquer, you have loy- 
ally served your country. By your exemplary conduct a standard has been 
established and maintained never before attained by any 'army. With mind 
and body as clean and strong as the decisive blows you delivered against the 
foe, you are soon to return to the pursuits of peace. In leaving the scenes 
of your victories, may I ask that you carry home your high ideals and con- 
tinue to live as you have served — an honor to the principles for which yon 
have fought and to the fallen comrades you leave behind. 

It is with pride in our success that I extend to you my sincere thanks for 
yonr splendid service to the army and to the nation. 

Faithfully, 




Commander in Chief. 



Official : 
ROBERT C. DAVIS, 
Adjutant General.
